Regular Season Round 15: Sakalai - Naglis Palangos 82-62
Date: December 21, 2012
Bottom-ranked Naglis Palangos (0-10) tried to put together a comeback for its first victory of the season, but they fell short in the 82-62 loss to eleventh ranked Sakalai (3-7) in Vilnius on Friday evening. They shot the lights out from three sinking 12 long-distance shots on high 52.2 percentage. Sakalai looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists comparing to just 8 passes made by Naglis Palangos' players. The best player for the winners was guard Paulius Dambrauskas (191-91) who scored 19 points. Swingman Zygimantas Sestokas (196-86, college: Hofstra, agency: Players Group) chipped in 19 points (perfect from the field making all seven shots !!!). Five Sakalai players scored in double figures. Sakalai's coach Romualdas Petronis used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. At the other side the best for losing team was American power forward James Porter (208-87, college: N.Carolina A&T) who recorded 17 points and 9 rebounds (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field) and the other American import guard Parrish Brown (185-84, college: Maryland, agency: Hightower Law Firm) added 19 points respectively. Sakalai moved-up to tenth place. Naglis Palangos lost their tenth game in a row. They still closes the standings with ten games lost. Sakalai will face higher ranked Pieno Zvaigzdes (#9) in Pasvalys in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Naglis Palangos will play at home against the league's leader Rudupis where they are definitely not considered as a favorite in this game either.
